Full FAQ Answer

What is a cloud solution architect, and what does cloud architecture consulting involve?

A cloud solution architect translates business and technical requirements into designs that run reliably on hyperscale platforms. Consulting typically includes current-state assessment, target architecture (including hybrid or multi-cloud when appropriate), security and networking patterns, migration sequencing, and governance. At Alpha Match Technology, we align designs with operational reality—CI/CD, observability, and Kubernetes or managed services—so recommendations become production-ready systems rather than slide decks.

What are the main cloud service models—and where do AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud fit?

The widely used service models are IaaS (virtualized compute and networking), PaaS (managed application platforms), and SaaS (ready-made applications). AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud each offer full stacks across these models, plus adjacent services like Kubernetes, data, and AI.

What are the main cloud deployment models?

Common models are public cloud (shared provider infrastructure), private cloud (dedicated environment), hybrid cloud (linked public and on-prem or private), and multi-cloud (using more than one public provider—e.g. AWS plus Azure).

What skills are needed for enterprise cloud architecture?

Strong architects combine networking, identity, security, cost governance, and automation—plus fluency with at least one major ecosystem (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and practices like Infrastructure as Code and observability.
